Cynosarges is an ancient gymnasium and public space located in Athens, Greece. The name "Cynosarges" translates to "the place of the white dogs," which is believed to refer to the wild dogs that roamed the area or the location's association with hunting. Historically, Cynosarges was primarily associated with physical training and athletic competitions. It was an important venue for Athenian youth to engage in physical exercise, but it also had a social and cultural significance.
